Database Computing

The document explains the client-server database architecture, which consists of clients that send requests to servers that process these requests and return results. It outlines three types of client-server architectures: single-tier, two-tier, and three-tier, each varying in complexity and structure. Additionally, the document discusses the advantages, such as cost-effectiveness and flexibility, as well as disadvantages, including high initial programming costs and limited management tools.

Client-Server

Database
Computing
What is Client-
Server ?
▸ Client server database consists of two logical
components. One is “Client” and the other
one is “Server”. Clients are those who send
the request to perform a specific task to the
server. Servers are normally receive the
command sent by the clients, perform the
task and send the appropriate result back to
the client.
▸ Example of client is PC where as the server is
a large work station.

Types of Client-
Server
Architecture
Normally, there are three types of
client server architecture available in
database management system. These
are listed below.
(a) Single tier client server computing
model
(b) Two tier client server computing
model
(c) Three tier client server computing
model
3
Single tier
client server
architecture
▸ Single tier architecture is the first type
of client server computing model. In
single tire client server computing
model, the client server database
system used on a personal computer.
In single tire system, the database is
centralized, which means the DBMS
software and the data in one location
and the dumb terminals were used to
access the database management
system. 4
Two-tier client
server computing
model
▸ Two-tier client server architecture is
the second type of client server
computing model. It uses two
computers and one client/server
system. At the early stages, client
server computing it was called two-
tier computing model in which
client is considered as data capture
and validation tier and server was
considered as data storage tire.
5
Three-tier client server
computing model
▸ Three tier architecture is the
improvement over two tier architecture.
Three tier architecture has three layers.
The first layer is the user interface
which runs on client system. The second
layer is called the application server . It
is used for business logic and data
processing. The third layer is known as
database server. It is a database
management system which stores the
data as needed by the middle layer. 6

Advantages of client
server database
system
▸ The advantages of client server database system are as
follows:
(a) Client server system has cost effective platforms to
support the applications.
(b) Client offers graphical menu driven interface, which is
superior to the traditional command line.
(c) Client server environment facilitates in more productive
work by the users and efficient use of existing data.
(d) Client server database system is more flexible.
(e) A single database on server can be shared across several
distinct client systems.
8
Disadvantages of
client server database
system
▸ There are some disadvantages in client
server database system. These are
(a) In initial phases, the programming
cost is high.
(b) There is a lack of management tools
for performance monitoring and timing.
